Sign a Petition to push forward South Africa’s hate crimes bill

February 9, 2018

All Out has started a petition in conjunction with the Hate Crimes Working Group – South Africa to help push forward South Africa’s hate crimes bill.

Information in the petition states that perpetrators of hate crimes against LGBT people in South Africa often go unpunished; adding that the Department of Justice has promised to enact a law to protect LGBT people and other vulnerable groups from hate crimes.

A message to Michael Masutha, South Africa’s Minister for Justice and Correctional Services says:

It has been over 10 years since the Department of Justice promised to introduce legislation to protect LGBT people and other vulnerable groups from hate crimes.
